China folk music is generally divided into five categories, namely songs, song and dance music, rap music, traditional opera music and instrumental music.
each kind of music has a variety of genres, forms, kinds of music and works, such as songs and ancient songs and folk songs.
Folk songs are divided into different genres, such as labor songs, folk songs, minor, Long song and multi-voice songs. They are both folk songs, but they have different styles and characteristics due to different regions and nationalities.
The Chinese guqin "Running Water" was once carved into a disc by Americans and sent to space by satellite. It can be seen that traditional music is also highly touted abroad, but in contrast, the music that we created locally is not popular in foreign countries.
what is national belongs to the world, and what we should recommend to the world is the unique national culture with a long history of the Chinese nation.
